Summary

After a half-hour public hearing with neighbors raising safety, traffic and tax concerns, the Glendale Common Council voted 4–2 to defeat a zoning text amendment that would have created an S‑2 Special Institutional district and enabled a proposed 24‑bed community based residential facility at 7007 N. Rangeline Road.

The Glendale Common Council voted 4–2 to reject an ordinance that would have added an S‑2 Special Institutional zoning district to the city code and allowed community based residential facilities (CBRFs) as a conditional use.

Council opened a public hearing after staff explained the S‑2 language under consideration (referenced in the agenda as 13.10.38.0.1). Meredith, a city planner, told the council the draft would permit “community living arrangements as defined by state statutes” and that the applicant's proposal met the definition of a group living arrangement for adults with care. Staff said the text amendment was required before any rezoning to S‑2 could be applied to 7007 N. Rangeline Road.
